Shen233 (talk) 18:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC) I see you making some entries for romajis, you seem to be missing the "===Romanization===" header, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:About_Japanese#Romaji_entries Shen233 (talk) 18:17, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback! This is my first time replying a talk page, so I am not sure if it's done right or not. Anyway, thanks for informing me about that missing header! I really appreciate it. Onionbar (talk) 18:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Welcome and have fun! Some tips: source the pronunciation whenever you can. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:ja-pron, for example for 未熟, you can do "ja-pron|みじゅく|acc=0|acc2=1|acc_ref=DJR", I usually look up pitch accent on https://www.weblio.jp/ and they use 大辞林 so I usually reference using "acc_ref=DJR", and then to add "===References===" if there is not one.
 * Part of speech: try to be as accurate as you can. 未熟 is a noun but more specifically a na-adjectival noun. Since the example you gave is 未熟な果物, reference similar words to help you edit, such as きれい(な). If there's any question just notify me and I'm happy to help if I have time.

Okay thanks for telling me. By the way, what if the pitch accent is found on my own physical dictionary? How can I cite that? Or do I just simply look up the same word on weblio and insert it. Onionbar (talk) 19:02, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * What kind of physical dictionary do you use? The shortcut in the template includes, NHK(NHK日本語発音アクセント辞典),DJR (as I mentioned above), and SMK5(新明解アクセント辞典). If you are using none of these currently, you could manually cite it (but I think it's a lot of work). The better way is to just cross reference with weblio and cite it as DJR.

 * It's quite an old one I got in Taiwan from like 2007. I doubt it uses NHK or other ones. But I'll go as you said; site them with DJR

限り
I modified your usage notes because it only applies "unless" usage of 限り、it can be used in other senses such as 生きている限り (as long as I'm living). It is a noun, which came from 限る, but it can be used as an adverb, aka adverbial noun. For simplicity sake, I think it's best just to call all of them noun. Or if you choose to, you could have some of the definitions in the separate adverb section. Shen233 (talk) 03:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! You made the page much more neat and simple. Thanks for fixing my part and adding more content to the page! Onionbar (talk) 17:00, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

An app you might be interested...
There's an app called Qolibri which I found out today. It combines many dictionaries together so that when you look up a term it shows relevant definitions, translations and pitch accents across major dictionaries such as 大辞林、大辞泉、広辞苑、新明解 etc... It's good so that you don't have to look up words every time in different dictionaries. Here's the video by Matt vs. Japan that explains how it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kny7eCfx9dA Shen233 (talk) 02:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll be looking into it! ))) Onionbar (talk) 02:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Note on adjectival noun and usage examples
By convention and discussing with other people, we think simply calling it “Adjective” is more straightforward than “Adjectival noun”; Essentially that’s na-adjective. Also, when adding example sentences, pay attention to if it’s a phrase or sentence. For example, “a sick person” is a phrase and shouldn’t be written as “A sick person.” Have a good day.

 * Okay thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep the “phrase” and “sentence” thing in mind too. ))) Onionbar (talk) 07:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
